It is believed that the forthcoming an.
nual report of the Civil Service Com.
mission will give the Cleveland admins.
tration a certificate of good character
and criticise sharply the Civil Service
reformers of the George William Curtis
school. Commissioner Edmunds, in con.
versation, said that in his judgment,
under the law the form of removal is
more respected than it was before the
Civil Service law was enacted. He
maintained that it is the duty Of the
commission to procure good and COM
petent persons for classified service, and
when that is done its duty is ended.
Continuing, he added: "In the report l
shall take very decided ground against
these Investigations ON indefinite charges
by irresponsible persons. I shall be
pretty severe upon the Chicago Civil
Service League, who made charges and
had nothing to sustain them. Such or.
CARNATIONS should attend to their legiti.
mate business. No official is bound to
give reasons for the dismissal of subor.
dinates.

LIFE ON THE MOON.
Reasons for Thinking the Planet
Not Absolutely Airless.

keR9OnH ZOE AntmAkBk thC
Not Absolutely Airless.
Popular Science Monthly.
There Is reason for thinking that the
moon is not absolutely %airless, and, while
il has no visible bodies Of water its soil
may, after all, not be entirely arid and
desiccsted. There are observations which
hint at visible changes in certain spots
that could possibly be caused by vegets-
ton, and there are other observations
which suggest the display OF electric lumi.
Mostly in rsrefied atmosphere covering the
moon. To declare that no possible form
of life can exist under the conditions pre-
ysiling IDOL the lunar surface would be
saying 700 much, FOR human intelligence
cannot set bounds to creative power.
Yet within the limits OF life. such as we
know them, it is probably safe to assert
that the moon is a dead and deserted
world. In other words, II q race Of beings
resembling ourselves, or resembling any
OF our contemporaries in terrestrial life,
ever existed upon the moon, they must
long since have persisted. That such be-
ings may have existed is possible, partition.
lsrly il II is true. as generally believed,
that the moon once had q comparatively
dense atmosphere and water upon its sur
face which have now, in the process Of
cooling Of the lunar globe, been with.
drawn into it's interior. It certainly does
not detract from the interest with which
we study the rugged and beautiful soen-
cry OF the moon to reflect that If we could
visit those ancient sea bottoms. or explore
those glitteriDg mountains, we might, per.
chance, find there some remains OF me-
mentos OF a race that lourished, and per.
haps was ell gathered again to its fathers,
before man appeared upon the earth.

A New York dispatch of the 10th
inst. says: The Scotch yacht Thistle,
about which much anxiety has been ex.
pressed, arrived at the bar at 4 o'clock
this morning. Captain Barr reports a
pleasant passage, except three days
rough weather and three days without
a puff of wind. The rest of the time
they had q light breeze. The Thistle is
certainly q pretty model, and her ap.
pearance does not belle her claims to
speed. 1t will take about two weeks to
clean her up, set her topmast and bend
her racing sails. She came over under
a small mainsail, topsail, staysail and
jib. For two days of her trip she shook
out everything. The trip took 81 days.

The Chassworth Verdict.

CHICAGO, Aug. l9. -Ihe news
Chatsworth special says: The Cor
oner's jury agreed On a verdict regard
ing the big wreck this morning which
holds Timothy Coughlan. section fore
man, to the Grand Jury and negatively
exonerates the railway company. The
company is not censured for running
a double header, for the lax system OF
track inspection or anything else. The
verdict simply assails the failure to
patrol the track for six hours before
the train came and the habit of burn
ing grass close to the track is the sub
iect OF criticism. The friends OF the
road on the jury had better staying
qualities than the juror who wanted
to fix part of the blame on the man.
agement.
Another victim of the Chatsworth
wreck died this morning at Fairbury.
His name was Elton Waters, of Cat
taraueua. n. Y. Until within a few
davs OF the accident he was employed
in a watch factory at Peoria. This
makes the total number OF verified
deaths 10.
CHATswoKTH, ILL.,, Aug. 19.-The
following is the verdict found by the
Coroner's jury to-day in regard to the
recent train wreck here:
We find here that the wrecking OF
said train, which totally damaged
eight coaches, one baggage a and
one engine, and either killed or
wounded most of the occupants OF
said coaches, was caused by the said
bridge having been burnt out before
the train struck it. We think from
the evidence that the bridge was fired
from a fire left burning which had
been set as late as 5 O'Clock that after
noon by section men close on to 10
feet on both the east and west sides
of the bridge. We further find that
the foreman OF section Z. Timothy
Corghlan, disobeyed positive orders
from his superior to examine the
track and bridge on his section the last
thing on Wednesday, and that said
Foreman Coughlan was guilty of gross
and criminal carelessness in leaving
the fires burning along the track in
such a dry season and with such a
strong wind blowing. We recommend
that he be held for examination by
the Grand Jury, and further it is the
opinion of the jury that the leaving of
the track without being patrolled for
six hours for the passage of the ex-
cursion train and the setting of the
fras hv tho section mon on sI1ch a dry
and windy day as the tenth of August,
1887, were acts which deserve severe
criticism.
Timothy Coughlan, section foreman,
was arrested and taken to the county
seat to-day. He says he cannot give
bail and insists that the verdict is UNI
just that he went over the entire sec
ton as ordered and that no fires were
near the bridge, as he and Tagart
tastifed

LINCOLN, Aug. ia special to the

unroofing houses and doing general
damage. A large brick s~choolhouse

buried in the ruins. j. j. Tonning

killed, and six others were seriously
injured, two fatally. III. III. Weth-
erell's house vas blown down and his
wife and two children buried in the
debris. All were more or less injured.
Several other buildings were wrecked
and several persons rather badly hurt.
The damage cannot now be estimated.
Hail stones an inch in diameter fell

AN NEED.

One of the greatest needs Of Nevada
is a system of reservoirs for the storage
of water, says the %Sagebrush Stockman,
but until the people are willing to make
an outward and substantial demonstra-
tion of their faith in storage reservoirs
we cannot hope for any aid from the ma
tional Government, while on the other
hand, if q certain project were to be in.
augurated by the State itself, Congress
would no doubt assist in carrying out the
work. We fully believe this question Of
reservoirs which is now before the PEG.
pie is one that will engage a great deal of
attention from lawmakers hereafter.
If the farming people Of the State
would begin constructing dams at suit
able places, the surety Of the plan would
soon become more explicitly understood
by the masses and by the statesmen than
it now is, and by a movement or the
part of the Nevada Legislature it seems
that Congress could soon be whipped
into line and the necessary appropria.
tions would be secured. Nevada ought
to receive a liberal apportionment of the
millions that are yearly expended in
river and harbor improvements. Then
here is another possibility that suggests
itself. Once let the reservoir system be
understood, and foreign capital would
soon organize and move in for the pur-
pose of going into the reservoir business.

DUBLIN, Aug. 19.-United Ireland

last chance and confess that Home
Rule is inevitable and advised them to

the election in a few weeks OF a Home
